We measured variability in species richness and relative abundance before harvest at 5 sites in the Jefferson National Forest of southwest Virginia and compared the effects of 7 silvicultural treatments on terrestrial salamander richness and relative abundance at 1 site.In CopyrightclearcutPlethodontimber forestamphibian populationsVirginiaTerrestrial Salamanders in southern Appalachain Harwood Forests: Relative Abundance, Nutritional Condition, and Response to Silvicultural PracticesThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-05182007-131949/
